External Doors

Your external doors say a lot about your home, so imagine what a difference you could make to your kerb appeal by installing a new front or back door. What's more, you could improve home security and energy efficiency too.

What are External Doors

At Vibrant Doors, we have selected a range of exterior doors that will add kerb appeal to your home, whether it is a traditional, contemporary or glazed appearance that you’re looking for. We have carefully selected exterior options that match with our internal doors so you can carry a coherent style throughout your home.

Choice & Quality

Our external doors range is manufactured using only the finest quality timber and joinery, which offers long-standing performance and a striking appearance. Choose from our great value range of hardwood exterior doors such as oak, or softwood like hemlock or redwood. Our solid wood front doors are perfect for adding kerb appeal and elegance to your home.

If you’re looking to make a real difference to your home, external oak doors can add class and a lasting style like no other. The most popular timber used in the home today, you'll find furniture, flooring, and kitchens all made from this attractive wood. Why not select an appropriate external door to match?

The beautiful glazed hardwood doors (for the front entrance and the back entrance) are more traditional in appearance. Their sturdy construction and presence make them timeless classics, ideal if you're trying to create period authenticity. Choose your own door furniture, including fixings, latch and door handles, to complete the look. Our exterior doors come in a variety of sizes so you can find the right fit for your current frame.

Thermal Efficiency

Your external doors, just like your windows, need to stand up to weather, condensation and draughts. It's important that external doors are energy efficient to keep the heat in and the cold out.

Double glazing ensures adequate insulation, and we'll specify if they are part L compliant (helping you meet the building regulation on the conservation of fuel and power in buildings). You'll also find our low u-values listed on the detail page of each door where applicable.

Security

The security of your home is a key consideration when it comes to external doors. That's why we provide sturdy wooden doors to keep you secure. Install with safety hinges, a multi-point locking system or a mortice dead lock for top door security. You can also fit a door chain to exterior wooden doors more easily than upvc doors.

In addition, all our glazing uses toughened glass. This safety glass not only offers enhanced security but helps keep your home the warmest it can be by providing thermal insulation.

If you're looking for something to improve the view out to your patio or garden, don't forget to take a look at our selections of French doors and bifold doors.
